Olelo Hawaii in Kahana: Stories with Keao NeSmith - Part 1

[@daarchdukefranzferdinand236]

Keao my favorite olelo Hawaii speaker to listen to real deal

[@kaalala]

Can't argue with that. Is one of the best we have.

[@matthewl6700]

YES! Love the Keao videos! Not only is his expertise unmatched but his passion for the language as the way kupuna spoke is so evident and has been incredibly helpful on my own learning journey. One day I'm going to be able to read the novels he translated!

[@kaalala]

His translation work is quite extensive so that would be an accomplishment 💯

[@kaimaluharmon1150]

Which books has he translated?

[@matthewl6700]

@@kaimaluharmon1150 Off the top of my head he's done The Hobbit, Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter, and The Little Prince. He mentioned in the Keep It Aloha Podcast that he's currently working on Winnie the Pooh.
